Badu, 25, has already spent seven season at the Estadio Communale Fruili and was expected to look elsewhere this summer.
But he has tied himself to a new deal at the club.
Udinese rebuffed an offer from Genoa this summer on the grounds of a club with better status.
While Udinese rejected a 3.5 million Euros offer from Stoke City last summer.
Turkish side Besiktas and Galatasaray have all failed in the past to land the midfielder who is third-in-command for Ghana's Black Stars.
